Progress
- Got the onboard video and the pci express card working in tandem. Sharing a desktop for the time being. VGA port on the pci express card is shared with the hdmi port according to Lubuntu 12.04. The DVI port may be able to operate as a second screen on the card lending to my initial expectations. --strages (talk) 22:34, 13 May 2013 (CDT)
